PRO-TIP: HOLD NUTS IN PLACE WITH PAINTER'S MASKING TAPE TO GET THEM STARTED

Nyloc nut on the left resists loosening from vibration better than the regular nut on the right

Fasten the electronics down (optional)

Before putting the top panel back on, you might want to use the mount holes to fasten your encoder down. The top panel hides screws that could be used to fasten the electronics and wires securely.

The GameThing frame comes with a generic screw pattern, but use of double sided tape, zip-ties, or hot-glue are all viable. Skip this step if you have a plan other than using the provided screw holes.

Install the buttons

Install top panel by carefully screwing in four corner screws. ONLY FINGER TIGHTEN, acrylic cracks very easily under pressure.

Snap or screw in each button

Connecting everything together

This example uses an Arduino and yellow daisy chained ground following this guide.

As clients request more and more encoders, we'll be posting more guides on our blog and archiving them here. We'll start with the Raspberry Pi and continue to those listed. If you'd like to make a request please don't hesitate to contact us.
